well I injured my left shoulder last week on bench press.... no warm up set and straight to 70kg did it right away. A week of rest and I went to do bench yesterday, still got pain in there so I went much much much lighter (basically so I got something done.) Most frustrating thing about it is that i have been seeing some good results of the work and effort that I am putting in and now I am going to go backwards. Hopefully I recover sooner rather then later. I am thinking that I have just strained it, nothing torn or anything serious like that. Iced it the night of the incident and have used some voltaran on it as well. Anyone know anything else I can try? On another note, I am not squatting 100kg. Not for ten reps but I believe I could get to 8 if I pushed myself. The 5th and 6th take me time to regather before I drop back down.

who wins? remember that the other guy has a professional photo, could be a photoshop where Zyzz has a crappier camera.

^^ agree with this. I'd also look at doing some sprint training. More high intense stuff to help strip the fat away. There is also a women on youtube who has a lot of workouts for women which look pretty good, might be worth having a look. Takes a long time to get to the goals. Ive been training for a few years now and the best progress ive made is in the last couple of months so get ready for the long haul. Working out and keeping the ideal body is a life style change, there is no quick solution. All the best and look forward to more high tech logs.

nice car mate good luck with the sale

are you bringing the car with you to sydney?

Brought a slow release protein shake today, forget what its called but along the lines of "Slow Releaze" flavor is Vanilla Devine... Also got myself some German brand Creatine which has me a little worried, 20odd gram servings.... To go along with that I got some Jacked 3d to see how that works.

23/1/2011 Upper Body: Bench Press: 60kg x 6reps 60kg x 6reps 60kg x 8 reps Couldnt really go heavier because my crappy gym doesnt supply many 5kg plates... Barbell Bent Over Row: 50kg x 8reps 50kg x 6reps 50lg x 6reps Still getting used to this exercise. Really annoys me, If I go lighter, I feel it a lot more in my back then if I go heavier. Machine Shoulder Press: 25kg x 4reps 25kg x 4reps 25kg x 4reps Tricep Extensions: 22.5 x 4reps 22.5 x 4reps 22.5 x 4reps Shrugs: We did shrugs, but on a cable so I am not sure about weight moved. One thing I am sure of, I didnt like it at all. Barbell curl: 30kg x 6reps 30kg x 6reps 30kg x 6reps I can possibly go heavier with this, but I tend to loose form. Anything past 6 reps here and my form started to drop, so I didnt count the reps after 6. I did these and really focused on the squeeze in the bicep. Also made sure I did the full motion of the exercise. Cheers,

thought I would share a lol moment with everyone. Went to the local supplement shop (wont name names) asked the guy behind the counter about some protein powders, got really confused when he kept on saying that this bottle has 5 liters and this one has 7. Wasn't until I looked at the bottle and asked "do you mean pounds?" think he was getting confused with lbs and litres...

would like to reach 75kg with the same bf%

He heard that working out can get the ladies

Thought I'd update this with what I have been doing. We moved onto a tri phase type of workout. Involves 9 weeks of typical 8-10 rep workout, 9 weeks of strength which is aiming for 4reps and 9 of frequency which is a bit of everything. At the moment we are in the strength phase. Routine and my latest lifts are below, whilst I am happy with a couple of these lifts, there is definite room for improvement, but I am getting there. Day 1: Bench Press: 60kg x 6reps 70kg x 4 70kg x 4 Bent Over Row (first time trying this so I am still trying to get the right technique down so I dont hurt my back more): 40kg x 10reps 45kg x 10reps 50kg x 10reps Machine Shoulder Press: 20kg x 8 reps 25kg x 4reps 25kg x 4 reps Barbell Shrug: 70kg x 8 reps 85kg x 4reps 85kg x 4 reps Dumbbell Tricep Ext: 17.5kg x 8reps 22.4kg x 4reps 22.5kg x 4reps Barbell Curl (another funny exercise for me, if I go heavier say 35kg the bones in my forearms hurt. I also loose the good technique, so for this I have gone down weight, slowed the rep and really squeezed the bicep): 25kg x 8reps 25kg x 8 reps 35kg x 4reps Day 2: Barbell Squat: 60kg x 10reps 80kg x 6 reps 80kg x 6reps Romanian Deadlift: 60kg x 10reps 80kg x 4reps 80kg x 4reps Smith Machine Reverse Calf raises: 90kg x 10reps 90kg x 10 reps 90kg x 10 reps Day 3: we tried a new gym this day. The weights felt heavier at times then our normal gym and lighter at other times, so i expect next week I will be lifting more Incline Bench: 40kg x 10 reps 60kg x 5 reps 60kg x 4 reps Dumbbell Shoulder Press 20 x 8 reps 22kg x 4 reps 22kg x 4 reps Wide Grip Lat Pulldown (another exercise where I feel it alot more if i go lighter then If i go real heavy) 40kg x 8 reps 46kg x 5 reps 46kg x 4 reps Dumbbell Shoulder Shrug: 34kg x 8 reps 36kg x 6 reps 36kg x 6 reps Dumbbell Bicep Curl: 12kg x 10 reps 14kg x 8 reps 16kg x 4 reps Day 4 Deadlift (found my grip lacking a bit here, I could probably push out more reps but cant hold onto the bar): 90kg x 4 reps 90kg x 5 reps 90kg x 4 reps Leg Press (my biggest lift, dont know where I get the strength/energy from to do it): 180kg x 4 reps 190kg x 6 reps 210kg x 4 reps Standing Calf Raises: 80kg x 10 reps 120kg x 6 reps 120kg x 4 reps
